A Week to Beat the Heat: Kicking off with a Round Up from Mae&K!

It's the middle of summer. It's been hot. Here in the desert it has been in the 100's. Actually we got into the 110's for a few days! What a perfect time to have a tour of activities you can do with your little ones to help stay cool during these hottest months of the year! Plus, our kids out here start school in a week, so what a fun way to finish off summer!

Introducing: A Week to Beat the Heat

Kicking off is the awesome Maegan over at Mae&K with 5 ways to stay cool over the summer without a pool!

Some awesome ideas! I love seeing water play without a water table (we don't have one) and I totally haven't thought of just using buckets and bowls!

Check it out! and stay cool!

check out day two, homemade snowcones with the wholesome mama!
day three, fresh fruit popsicles with Create 3.5!

2015 Finish Along: Quarter 3: Goals {2015 FAL Q3}

We have finished Quarter 2 and already half way through the year? Oh my! How have your finishes been coming along?

Here is my list for this quarter. I am not expecting to finish all of them but I am sure hoping to at least knock out another 1 or two again this quarter! Yay!

1. Labyrinth Lap Quilt... I am still debating the backing for this, if I really want to use it...but I have nothing else...

2.  My band shirt memory quilt... I found a backing by andover fabrics! It's perfect! There is no reason for this not to get done now! Ha!

3. This is baby girl's baby shower quilt.  No extra signers. I think it is time to just sew it up. She needs a momma made quilt. The blocks are back into the box I got them in... :( Poor thing. By this time I was finishing up Nikolai's first quilt.

4. This circle quilt. It was supposed to be for a fabric challenge... I look at this and love it still. I need to finish it!

5. These are supposed to be some Peasant Tops pattern by Tie Dye Diva Patterns (affiliate link) for Baby Girl. I was working on them, then got carried away with something else and I hadn't gone back to them and now, sitting in a manilla folder in the craft room. Better finish them before she cannot wear them! 

6. This is going to be Little Man's Going to Grandma's/&or/Grandpa's over night bag. It is going to be the Dorothy Day Tripper by Swoon Sewing Patterns (affiliate links) ...

7. If I have enough left over I also want to make a Tiny Explorer Backpack by Diedelbug Handmade for him when we go to MOPs meetings, the Zoo, and anything else that seems to fit with learning and fun. ;)
